I am down to a 1-1 battle vs a SIM for a recruit. I offered and got the "I'm leaning your way" message. So I waited. Then today I get an email that he is now "heading somewhere else" and the only other school is the same SIM. I have never seen this before...I thought the SIMS did all of their recruiting up front? Can someone explain?

As long as a recruit is considering a SIM, the SIM will continue to put effort into him. The only way a SIM stops recruiting is if you knock it off the kid completely. Unless you can muster a lot more effort (i.e., cash) you've probably lost the kid.
